Is one of the main female sex hormones mainly produced in the ovaries. Large surges of estrogen during puberty are responsible to develop and maintain the female reproductive system and female characteristics. Our bodies make three major types of estrogen known as estrone, estradiol, and estriol. Estrogen is highest in the follicular phase. We test for the following types of estrogens: Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3), 2-Hydroxyestrone, 2-Methoxyestradiol, and 2-Methoxyestrone.

Aka “feel good hormone” is a female sex hormone, highest in the luteal phase. Progesterone is an endogenous steroid and progestogen sex hormone involved in the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and helps to thicken the lining of the uterus to prepare for a fertilized egg. It is mainly produced in the ovaries to reduce anxiety, irritability and support sleep as well as promoting feelings of calm and well being.

Known as predominately male sex hormones, androgens play a vital role in puberty and development and they support muscle, bone and brain health. We test for 3 types of androgens: DHEA, Testosterone, and 5a-Androstanediol. Testosterone is the most common androgen mainly produced in the ovaries and adrenal glands. Testosterone helps with sex drive, energy, and mood. After puberty it keeps the body fit and running properly.

Glucocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which are a class of steroid hormones. Usually made in the adrenal glands, they are involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats and have anti-inflammatory activity. We test for 3 different types of glucocorticoids: Pregnanetriol, Cortisone, and Cortisol.

Thyroid hormones are two hormones produced and released by the thyroid gland, namely triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The pituitary stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine through thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Thyroid hormones help regulate the body's metabolic rate controlling heart, muscle and digestive function, brain development and bone health. Thyroid hormone also takes part in temperature, hair and bowel health.

Mineralocorticoids are a class of corticosteroids, which in turn are a class of steroid hormones. Mineralocorticoids are produced in the adrenal cortex and influence salt and water balances. We test three types of mineralocorticoids: Allo-tetrahydrocorticosterone (5-THB), Tetrahydrocorticosterone (THB), 11-dehydrotetrahydrocorticosterone (THA)

We test for Kynurenic (KYNA) and Xanthurenic acids. Kyna is a product of one branch of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan metabolism and it has anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive functions in the body and it influences neurophysiological and neuropathological processes as well as the body’s immune system. Xanthurenic acid is tested to measure vitamin B6 deficiency in the body.

We test for 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, which is a melatonin metabolite produced in the pineal gland and a small portion is produced in the retina. It supports healthy sleep/wake cycles and positively modulates immune system.
